I think, because of my age, my religious beliefs have evolved into drastically different things over the years. I was born christian, never connected with it, rebelled against my parents and explored Wicca, found it didn't really fit me either. Here's where I stand now, and it doesn't really fit anywhere. I'm first and foremost a child of this new technological age, and I'm very interested in biochemistry and science. There's far too much evidence of evolution to continue to hold to a belief in creationism. But does that have to rule out the existence of god? So we weren't all molded out of playdoh...but the universe is vast, and I'm not sure why no one has put forth the theory that god, or a slew of them, are like great chemists in the heavens, throwing atoms together and watching us evolve and grow and transform. As for his/her/their active participation on our lives, I feel like we're asking to be lead through every step of life. As if our real parents fixed every mistake for us, and gave us all the answers.
This is rambling and probably pretty damn convoluted. Overall, I think faith, in any form, even if it's the faith that nothing is out there, is a powerful thing, and necessary in our times. It's one of the most varied, personal, and important decisions we make in life.
Is it normal to have this point of view on religion?
